We Talked to the Stripper Who Danced for Metromover Crowds After Ultra

The first time Victoria Errigo hopped on a pole to dance for Ultra crowds waiting for trains at the First Street Metromover Station across from her apartment window, she didn't think too much of the stunt.

"I literally hopped on the pole, got off, and ran into my room. I did it for like 30 seconds," she tells New Times. The following day, videos of her off-the-cuff performance were all over Instagram and Twitter. However, with a quick performance and zero identifiers, Errigo remained anonymous to most of the thousands who saw her online that year. That was in 2023 — when she repeated the performance last year, she was better prepared.

She Sharpied a handwritten sign with her stage name in all caps, "HUNGARIAN DOLL," and her Cash App profile name. The first night of the Ultra Music Festival got rained out early last year, so she consoled cheering crowds in ponchos with an early set. "I did it from like 10 to 11 [p.m.] — every five minutes, the train would come, and then I'd just re-do the show."

The following day, no longer anonymous, she woke up to 30,000 new Instagram followers.

Three years makes Errigo's post-Ultra striptease its own burgeoning Miami Music Week tradition. She says she was hesitant to reprise the show this year because she's gained a bit of weight and hasn't been dancing as regularly at Tootsie's, where she works now and then.

"I got a BBL last year — my second BBL — and because of that, I've been so lazy," she says. "So I'll pop in the club once in a blue moon, but I don't go up the pole — I haven't climbed a pole in forever."

Though she says she's typically a pro at ceiling pull-ups and death drops, she's somewhat rusty these days, and she feels it — she's pretty banged up from this past weekend's Metromover performance. "My legs are all bruised," she says. "Behind my knee is purple, my knees are purple. I have bruises all over just from one day of dancing."

This year, she started her performance just before midnight and wrapped up around 1 a.m., and she was even more prepared than in 2024. Her screen-printed banner — which plugged her Instagram, Cash App, and Fansly accounts — was a step up from last year's DIY creation.

"I went to a sign place and paid $500 to get a sign," she says. Did she make the money back? "Oh yeah."

She also did some prep work. In addition to printing up the banner, she lined up a photoshoot for teaser photos. And when she saw her story views tick up into the tens or even hundreds of thousands, she linked her Fansly account to her posts. "I already knew this was gonna work in my favor," she says.

Errigo has lived in her downtown apartment for about five years, with the First Street Metromover Station in clear view from her window. She's thought about dancing after other downtown concerts but says Ultra crowds are best suited for her performances.

"I remember one time I was like, 'Oh, should I do it?' 'cause there was a Justin Timberlake concert," she says. "[But the audience] was just these old white women and these old white men, and I was like, 'I'm not gonna even open the curtains. I'm good on their opinions.' The Ultra crowds — they're already half-naked in their costumes and stuff. I was like, 'Yeah, they'll love this.'"

Judging from the raucous cheers emanating from the Metromover platform in her Instagram stories, she's right. And she has another unexpected group of supporters: her neighbors.

"It's actually funny because my neighbors love it," says Errigo. "My building never sends me a violation. My building be like, 'Yo, go get your money.' It's so funny 'cause people online are like, 'Oh my God, this is so distasteful. We're gonna send this to the county, or we're gonna report this.' My building literally be like, 'Yo, it's your time to shine. It's your month.' My neighbors send me photos and stuff."

She's thought about moving out of Miami but says the support, and the success of her 2024 performance in particular, have made her think twice. "It is definitely a part of why I won't leave this apartment, 100 percent, 'cause it does help every year. I'm not gonna lie."

She's even parlayed that success into @parties_with_viper, a party business she recently launched to cut out middlemen booking agencies. Interested parties can DM the account or email the address in her bio to book her for bachelor, birthday, and divorce parties. "I'm very upfront about the fee," she says, "and it's not just guys calling [for any] dancer; it's guys that saw the videos, and they want me, so they're willing to pay a high price."

As for the public show, expect to see Errigo after dark on your drunken and possibly rain-soaked commute back home after the festival next year — she plans to continue her lucrative performance for the foreseeable future. "Every time there's Ultra, I'm in a whole bunch of photos," she says. "People go to Ultra, and then they come see the show."
